But no one really complained about the relaxation as they sunned and 9. gossiped while waiting their turn to participate in the events at the Wingham Public School. County planning department ublish Howick official plan The Howick Township Secon- dary Plan, which was submitted to council May 8, attempts to pre- serve agriculture in the township while allowing for expected gradual growth in the villages and hamlets.. The county planning depart- ment organized nine workshops in the township designed to allow in -put by residents. "A fundamental purpose of this plan is to now continue this forum of public debate, so that the goals and policies of this plan may be continually re-evaluated and im- proved upon." " After much discussion during the workshops, the plan calls for recreational development to be limited to the Lakelet area. Other pockets in the township and along the Maitland River had been dis- cussed as possible sites for rec- reational areas. To protect farming which the ' plan said is "the ambition of the • residents", the plan laid down a few ground rules: "The structures which make up the farm unit will be part of the farm and not separately titled lots; "Farm operations of all sizes will be allowed based on the stan- dard that farming represents at least 50 per cent of the owner's in- come; "Commercial and industrial uses will be allowed provided that` at least 50 per cent of their opera- tion is related to the processing of agricultural products or the servicing of farms; vA '2,000 -foot buffer zone be established around all urbanized areas which would halt .expansion of any intensive farming opera- tion." The plan said that none of the three villages—Fordwich, Wroxeter ,or Gorrie—were suit- able for an industrial park as had been discussed at the workshop to,„ supplement employment in the township. ' "Opportunities to provide for light manufacturing industry in the township should be eatplored by the creation of a small in- dustrial park." • The plan also encouraged farmers to retire to villages and hamlets rather than build a second house on their own land.
